Despite issues nationally, care homes in North Yorkshire are above capacity due to a number of factors.
North Yorkshire is geographically the largest council in England and is responsible for delivering and commissioning social care across vast rural areas, market towns and villages. There are approximately 231 registered care homes, over 150 commissioned domiciliary care agencies, and a vibrant voluntary and community sector.
As is the case nationally, the social care sector in North Yorkshire is facing unprecedented challenge. The ongoing repercussions of the pandemic; spiralling costs of living; major workforce challenges; pressures from the NHS; increased demand for services and reduced spending power for social care budgets are all impacting adversely on market sustainability.
Nevertheless, as Director of Adult Services at North Yorkshire Council Richard Webb states - the numbers for occupants across the area look good in comparison to the rest of the UK.
Despite this however, as Richard Webb goes on to say - keeping the care quality at the correct levels is the challenge:-
